Unfortunate name furthers the SQLite is "lite" association i.e. underpowered or incapable somehow.

IIRC it is intended to be read as SQL-ite, as having some relationship to SQL.

PG Lite probably makes sense here though, and PGite is not appealing

I've always thought "lite" or light to mean non resource intensive to run, not necessarily less feature-rich.

So it’s actually not -lite but -ite. =)
